"I Will Always be Me" teaches children that God loves them more than they can ever begin to imagine.
The human being is single, unique, and unrepeatable. Someone thought of and chosen from eternity: Someone called and identified by name. -Pope Saint John Paul II
I Will Always be Me by Kristina Schoettle is a reprint of "I Will Always be Me (for boys)," created for girls to enjoy. The after credits say the first part of this book is an actual conversation between the author and her three-year-old son. After being assured of his unique and unchanging identity, he smiled sweetly and said, "I'll always be me." The synopsis states that the story was created for girls to enjoy, but the message isn't limited to one gender. It lets all children know that God loves them just as they are. He's with you at every point of your life. When you cry, he cries, and when you smile, he smiles too.
The author quoted Pope Saint John Paul II: "The human being is single, unique, and unrepeatable. Someone thought of and chosen from eternity: Someone called and identified by name." I agree; we possess unique talents or qualities that set us apart. Even if you are a twin, triplet, etc., there are some attributes that only you have.
The little girl, the star of the story, was adorable. Her smile lit up the pages. Kids will not miss the illustrations. They'll welcome seeing a little real child on the pages, having fun outside as they do. They might even remark that they have gone through a tunnel like that or have a similar swing in their yard.
I Will Always be Me by Kristina Schoettle is a Christian-based children's book that warms a person's heart and fills a soul with love. At 24 pages, this sweet story is perfect for children with limited attention spans. It is ideal for religious homes, Sunday schools, or Christian schools.
I recommend I Will Always be Me for readers up to 2-7. It's a quick read that will bring endless hours of joy.

I've been constructing reviews for over a decade and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Most of the reviews will be featured on my blog (Kam's Place), Pinterest, Instagram, Goodreads, and X (formerly Twitter.) Don't forget to tip your waitress! :D
